87sheerips Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Stock versus my brake lever. Will take some adjusting not to smack cover on spring return. The hitting of cover does not bother me really.. This lever gives much easier foot stomping access and I see this being a benefit for anyone riding hard with a lockup cover.

trickedcarbine Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) The smacking of the cover will surely bother you once your cover has a divot almost all the way through that nice direct drive cover. I thought the point of a different lever was to get it to clear that kind of stuff? Might as well just bend a stocker.

rjdgriff Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Yeah, it's not the brake pedal/pad whatever you call it that's the problem. It's the lever itself that's the problem. JD, I think you maybe misunderstood that?? That's the part that fucks the cover and causes oil to leak^this Trail Bikes, FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87sheerips Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Well, I can add a dead stop or something.... Yea that should work. At least the pedal location is way better... I'll keep working 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 All you have to do is radius the arm a bit to create the clearance needed to avoid contact from cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87sheerips Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 All of this is probly a waste of time. Nobody gonna buy these at what I'll have to charge. $60 shipped. At BEST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebanshee98 Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 You make one that clears any contact with the cover I'll buy one for 60. I'd rather pay that amount then have a messed up cover and ending up paying a lot more for another cover. Don't get discouraged 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87sheerips Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, note where the pencil is. This is where the stock lever "cuts" into the cover- my cover is damaged from it pretty good - not good My lever hits further underneath, perfect with the radius of the cover, where it will not cause damage. Other than pivoting the spring retainer, which would reduce the amount of pull-back, simply "adding a radius" to the arm will not work.... It's going to keep pulling back until it hits, because of the spring pressure. I like this as it is for my bike It clears happily here by the foot peg Details on the stock lever damage versus mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
